That makes more sense, I first read it as 'wealthy people live (artificially) complex lives while others don't.' Which I would argue is the opposite of the truth.
We need to tax the rich more.

This feels like it has teeth, but it seems to be missing a coherent point. What is a "retreat into complexity"? Is this talking about CEOs vs regular Joes?

For the record, I feel like you would enjoy lychees quite a bit if you enjoy grapes. The sweet, floral flavor is unique (and imo addictive). The membrane around the pit can be kind of thick in some but otherwise I consider them to be superior to grapes. I hope you can give them a try!

I love this so much, great work! The world needs more Golden Sun fanart 😄
